Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

The conversation stalled and Professor McGonagall and Sirius disagreed completely and did not give in to each other.

This happened many times before at the Phoenix conference, and Ivan was able to understand Sirius' thoughts, as well as Professor McGonagall's suffering.

Abandoning Hogwarts like this is emotionally unacceptable.

But it would be foolish to hold onto Hogwarts Castle against Voldemort in a situation of great disparity of power.

Voldemort probably had a clear position in Phoenix, then he could wipe them out with the Ministry of Magic.

“Sirius, our aim is to defeat Voldemort, not to hold on to Hogwarts, and there's a lot more to do.” Ivan says, "Dumbledore's death is not the end, it's the beginning of the war...”

“You're right, Evan!” Sirius' body swayed slightly, "but war would always cost someone, and I would stay to defend Hogwarts if needed. ”

His appearance is very worrying. Will he take any drastic action to avenge Dumbledore?

“I know what you're thinking, Sirius, but we're not talking about sacrifice. Meaningless death is just stupid, and I want you to remember that.” Professor McGonagall said, "Let's hear from the others. What do you think? ”

“I support Blake's view that things are really bad at the moment, but I'm not in favour of closing the school, and I'm sure Dumbledore would like us to continue.” Professor Sprout said, "I think schools should be open whenever a student wants to go to school. ”

“But will we have more students after that?” Slughorn says he's rubbing his forehead with a silk handkerchief, "and I can't blame them for this, as long as rational parents keep their children at home instead of sending them to school. After Dumbledore's death, we can claim that Hogwarts had nothing to do with him and the Phoenix Society, and I personally don't think it's more dangerous here than anywhere else, but you can't expect mothers to think the same. It's natural that they want the whole family together. ”

“I agree! Professor MacGruber said," Dumbledore is too deeply imprinted to be relevant if we claim that it is not, and it is also wrong to say that Dumbledore never looked at the possibility that Hogwarts might close one day. When the secret room was reopened, he considered closing the school. I must say that I find the murder of Professor Dumbledore more disturbing in itself than the Slytherin monster hidden deep in the castle... "

“We have to talk to the directors.” Professor Flitwick said in a pointy, thin voice, "We have to follow the rules and not so hastily conclude underground. ”

“I agree with Filius that we must be cautious.” It is up to the school board to decide whether or not to close the school, "said Lupin. ”

“Hagrid, you haven't said a word yet.” Professor McGonagall and the rest of the audience made their comments before saying, "What's your opinion, Hogwarts? ”

In this conversation, Hagrid kept his tear-stained handkerchief over his face, choking silently.

Until now, he was reluctant to believe Dumbledore was dead.

Upon hearing Professor McGonagall's question, Hagrid raised his reddish eyes and said in a hissing voice, “I don't know, Professor... it's up to you, Dean and Principal, to decide...”

“Professor Dumbledore has always valued your opinion.” Professor McGonagall said kindly, "So do I. ”

“Me, I'll stay, no matter what.” Hagrid said, big tears slide down the corner of his eyes and flow down a messy beard, "this is my home, and it has been since I was thirteen. If a child wants me to teach them, I'll teach them. But... I don't know... Hogwarts doesn't have Dumbledore..."

He twitched and his face disappeared behind the handkerchief again, silent for a moment.

“Very well!” Professor McGonagall said, glancing out the window to see if the minister had arrived. "I know what you think. In that case, I must agree with Fribourg and Lupin, who should consult with the board of directors to make a final decision. ”

“What about the students? This semester is coming to an end. ”

“Yeah, that's what we have to think about, how to get the students home... an opinion is that it's too early, not too late, and if necessary, we can arrange for Hogwarts to come over tomorrow. ”

“Where's Dumbledore's funeral?” Sirius interjected and asked.

“Um...” Professor McGonagall said, sounds trembling, seemingly a little less assertive, "although we didn't find Dumbledore's body, we do need a decent funeral. ”

There is no doubt that if Dumbledore is unable to return, the funeral will be real.

The funeral was timely and only Ivan and Harry knew the whole truth, but they were not sure that Dumbledore would return.

“Me, where do we put Dumbledore's tombstone? ”

“I know Dumbledore's wish is to sleep here, in Hogwarts...” Professor McGonagall said.

“There is no better place than Hogwarts! ”

“Well, if the department thinks it's appropriate, we... you know, there hasn't been a headmaster in Hogwarts history...”

“No headmaster has contributed so much to Hogwarts.” Hagrid growled.

“Absolutely!" Professor Sprout said.

“In that case, we would hold a funeral and build a tombstone for Dumbledore in Hogwarts, where his wand could be buried.” Professor MacGruber said.

“The wand is the most important object of the wizard, he has used it since the day I met Dumbledore, it can replace Dumbledore..."

For a moment of silence, many people's eyes were acidified, great wizards like Dumbledore, who, in the end, had left no body but his wand.

His funeral could only bury the wand, which was so tragic that Hagrid cried out.

“We can wait until after the funeral to send the students home, and I think many of them would like to say goodbye to him. ”

“So well arranged, our students should be grateful, which is appropriate and we can arrange for them to come home after the funeral.” Professor Flitwick said in a sharp voice.

“Agree!”

“Let's do this, it's the only thing we can do for Dumbledore. ”

“Alas, I think so...” Slughorn sounded agitated, lifting his arm and wiping his eyes.

“Here he comes!” Professor McGonagall suddenly said, “Minister... he seems to have brought a delegation...”
